Add one day to date in javascript

Question

I am sure that a lot of people asked this question but when I checked the answers it seems to me that they are wrong that what I found

var startDate = new Date(Date.parse(startdate)); //The start date is right lets say it is 'Mon Jun 30 2014 00:00:00'  var endDate = new Date(startDate.getDate() + 1); // the enddate in the console will be 'Wed Dec 31 1969 18:00:00' and that's wrong it should be  1 july  

I know that .getDate() return from 1-31 but Does the browser or the javascript increase only the day without updating the month and the year ?

and in this case Should I write an algorithm to handle this ? or there is another way ?

Answer 1

Note that Date.getDate only returns the day of the month. You can add a day by calling Date.setDate and appending 1.

// Create new Date instance var date = new Date()  // Add a day date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1) 

JavaScript will automatically update the month and year for you.

Here's a link to a page where you can find all the cool stuff about the built-in Date object, and see what's possible: Date.
